The contempt some urban Democrats display toward rural interests definitely doesn't help the donkeys, especially since a fair number of suburban voters like to idealize a bucolic rural lifestyle that never was.

I always thought the Disciples were a conservative sect.

Nope.

They originated out of the 19th century Restoration Movement, most of whose descendants are fairly conservative, but they are a liberal ecumenical faction of it.  They have a congregational structure and other than a general belief in immersion baptism, there isn't anything I'd consider "conservative" in their practices.  They were the first major mainline church to have a woman leading them.  I also wouldn't be surprised if there were a merger between the Disciples of Christ and the United Church of Christ sometime in the next decade or two.  They already allow ministers ordained by one to lead a church of the other.
